About this plan
The Julio Mario Santo Domingo Public Library in Suba opens a new Café Musical focused on music and poetry. It is a cycle of four sessions for people who want to understand how these two languages meet and why so many poets end up turning into songs.
During the sessions you will listen, read, and talk about singer-songwriters who write like poets, like Leonard Cohen, Patti Smith, Bob Dylan, and Marta Gómez. There will also be a space to get close to décimas and repentismo, two traditions where the verse becomes live rhythm.
The cycle ends with a creation workshop where you can take a poem to music and try setting it to sound. Entry is free, you only need to check dates and spots on the BibloRed page.
